Is there a through the hull transducer or can the transducer that comes with the unit be mounted as a through the hull?

I'm not 100 percent sure, I bought my boat from a friend that already had the 598 installed that he wanted to keep so I just bought the same one and only used the head and gave him the transducer and all. But we were talking one day about upgrading to a larger depth finder and he mentioned mounting the transducer inside because this particular boat was so hard to mount on the outside

Transducer is included. To be mounted on the transom. This provides your sideways scanning sonar and downward scanning sonar. Optional trolling motor transducer is available for purchase.

you conncct it to a 12v power source and connect the transducer to your trolling motor or epoxy it to the inside bottom of your boat. actually, i returned my unit since the built in maps didn't cover the water i fish.

Yes it does come with a transom mount transducer. I suggest you get the one with lake insight.

Yes, the one I ordered from Amazon had the transducer included. However on the box is said it was not included but it was in the box. And all works VERY nicely.

not on this model, on the more expensive ones maybe, would be a good feature for a kayak. for a boat its still pretty easy to just lift the transducer up out of the clamp and lay it down while u r moving.

It is needed to provide the traditional sounder portion of the total Structurescan display capability. The other transducer is the LSS-2 Skimmer, and it actually has two different transducers built into it - the downscan imaging transducer & the sidescan (split left and right) transducer. For full Structurescan capability, all three types of sonar signal are required.

The transducer does not have to be permanently fixed to the transom. We have attached the transducer to a 1" x 4" x 6' plank and clamped it to the railing on an hose boat, it works just fine. Be sure to submurge past the pontoons or boat bottom. You will not get a good reading otherwise.

It comes with a transducer that is mounted on a suction cup that sticks on the boat's transom. The transducer is also attached to a long cord that goes to the main unit. So he should be good to go!

A Boat..Everything else is included.Just make sure you order the correct transducer for your boat.I have a kayak,so I installed a rails and a different mount so I could slide the main unit out when I was transporting the boat..

according to the literature that came with the unit, you can order a trolling motor mount for the transducer that comes with the unit. try www.humminbird.com or call 1-800-633-1468 for more info.

You keep it in the water so it is just 1mm below the bottom of the boat hull. You can also use an adhesive and go through hull with the transducer in the middle of your boat bottom. Very versatile

Mark, I mounted my transducer inside the hull of a kayak. There are many good resources on U Tube explaining this method. You just have to make sure there are no air bubbles in the adhesive.

Comes with suction cup transducer. It's a complete portable unit.If your husand's 12ft aluminum boat is very old to the point where it is no longer smoothon the outside of the transom may have difficulty keeping the suction cup on.In such a case people either buy or make a gunnel mounted transducer bracket, orexpoy a small sheet of plexiglass to the back of he boat for the suction cup.But in 99% of thee cases the suction cup will work.

This model is a discontinued GPS only. Transducers to be effective and usable should have the face in the water not inside the hull.
